Just about done. Minus two known and documented bugs, the thing is done. I’m just finishing up the documentation. I was able to add to the features as well, or perhaps more accurately expand and better define the features it has, but I won’t say more at this moment.

Yeah, it’s as finished as it can be as a beta. My hope is that I’ve made it in such a way that it’ll be easily updateable by way of module swapping, so to speak.

If you need any help with setup just let me know. A retrofit is a little more difficult, a lot depending on the markup and the way the content is included. I did one today and found a couple of bugs with the CMS but they’re fixed and the download is a good one.

It’s funny in a way. I didn’t know how to address this project in regards to accessibility. It’s really meant for a single user or small group and that’s it. I wasn’t sure how concerned I should be about that sort of thing.

I did build in a bunch of features in that regard, anyway, though. Some tab indexing, acronyms, sizable fonts in Internet Explorer, style changing, etc. I wonder if I should have done more or less.

I just wanted everyone to know that the GreenBeast CMS has been updated extensively. The download version is new and imporved in many ways. So many that I’m calling this Version 1.1 (v.1.1). However, there is one more task at hand before it goes out of Beta status and becomes the full v.1.1. Do download the verion now though if you’re a user. Instructions will be posted on your CMS Home page. (The Demo’s Home page message is static. It is, after all, the demo version.)
The following upgrades were made:

Anyway, if you’re using this thing, it’s better than ever. And it simply plug-and-play on the upgrade, just refer to the instructions. I use it on three sites and I love it. However, feedback from others would be great if anyone’s using it. If not, you should. It works very well.

I need to know if anyone’s using this? The release of version 1.1 is just around the corner and the changes are so profound you might want to let me know so I can help you transition to it. It’s not going to be a simple drag-and-drop update like the last one. This one’s major. Tons of new features, tons of form re-works to make the thing as smart as WordPress (almost).

If you haven’t downloaded it don’t (well you can’t since I disabled to download link). Wait until verison 1.1’s release. I promise you it’ll be worth the wait.

So how do you define around the corner? I am starting the re-design of a non-profit customer and thought I would use it to take the beast for a spin, so when you expect this update to be out? I have been shoving this re-work back over a year, really need to get it done. Thanks Mike
